We date this from the late 1870's and believe it is probably from one of the Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia. This is based on the types of umbrellas carried by the attendants and the clothing - however it is basically a guess as we are not sure of the origin. What we do know for sure is that is is very well executed and composed. The piece is 8" wide x 6 3/4" high. It has a fine original patina and is is exc ...click for details
